Question

When in England,Darwin displayed a wide variety of physical symptoms.These symptoms were probably ____.​

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

There is evidence to suggest that Darwin's physical symptoms were psychosomatic in origin. For example, his symptoms would often flare up during times of stress or anxiety, and there was no clear physical cause for them. Additionally, some of his symptoms (such as his agoraphobia) are commonly associated with psychosomatic illness. There is no evidence to suggest that his symptoms were caused by a muscular disorder, that they were faked, or that they were caused by lead exposure.
